Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fishing continued to be very productive in Sarasota for clients out of CB's Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, though we did experience nearly a week of quite breezy conditions. Sheepshead were plentiful in Big Pass, holding in the ample structure on the north side of Siesta Key. Anglers caught sheepshead, snapper, gag grouper, and pompano bottom fishing with shrimp. The pass itself was full of ladyfish with quite a few mackerel as well and bluefish, and pompano mixed in. Fly and spin anglers did well casting Clouser Minnows and Bass Assassin jigs. The grass flats nearby were productive, but the better flats fishing was further north near Buttonwooh Harbor, where jigs and flies produced speckled trout, pompano, bluefish, ladyfish, and mackerel. We are hoping to see the schools of Spanish mackerel show up in the inshore gulf of Mexico.
